What can we use to check for cell patency?

13 April 2023 0 8K Report

We are trying to isolate single pyramidal cells in 3-4 week old mice, and currently using trypan blue to determine the patency of the cell membrane. We are only concerned that the cell is retaining the mRNA; is there a better assay that we could use?
